JET Pedals Eternity Delay

The Eternity Delay is a compact stereo delay pedal from JET Pedals. It offers a range of delay algorithms, from warm, vintage-style Tape repeats with natural modulation and subtle high-end roll-off, to a classic Analog mode with gradual high-frequency decay, plus a multi-functional ESD mode for echo, slapback or doubling, and the JET Signature Slap/Analog Dual delay¹. It comes in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure measuring 4.82" x 2.62" x 1.425" and weighing 298 grams¹, with two soft-click footswitches for bypass and tap tempo¹². JET positions it as "everything you need in a Delay pedal"¹.

The pedal comes in Black and White variants at a list price of $249.99, though as of late October 2026 both colors are listed as unavailable on JET's product page, with a restock expected around the end of October¹.

Six delay algorithms in one stereo pedal

The Eternity's core is its set of six studio-grade algorithms, each aimed at a different delay style¹:

The two dual-style modes work differently. Premier Guitar's review explains that the dual algorithm combines a customizable analog delay with a fixed dotted-eighth-note digital delay, while the JRD (JET signature rhythm delay) pairs a tweakable analog delay with a tight slapback². A 2025 update from JET described the JRD as a "Slap & Quarter Note Delay algorithm"⁴.

The pedal also gained an upgraded tap tempo that averages the BPM based on the number of taps received, which JET says gives extreme accuracy when MIDI clock isn't available. The tap tempo rate LED automatically syncs to the BPM and flashes on the downbeat of each quarter note⁴. Delicious Audio highlighted this averaging behavior as an interesting innovation when the pedal launched³.

The controls

The Eternity has two soft-click footswitches, one for bypass and one for tap tempo². The Bypass switch doubles as the main navigation for the pedal¹:

• Short press: engages Live Mode
• Double tap: engages Preset Mode
• Two button press: cycles through stored presets
• Long press, 1 second: cycles algorithms
• Long press, 3 seconds: saves the preset¹

A selectable subdivision rate switch chooses between quarter, dotted eighth, and eighth note subdivisions¹. Of the knobs, the maker documents two in detail: the Repeats knob controls the number of repeats, with fully counter-clockwise giving a single repeat, and at maximum the repeats will not self-oscillate. The Filter knob controls the overall brightness of the repeats and does not affect the dry signal¹.

Over MIDI, the knobs can be remote-controlled: CC #20 with values 0 through 127 controls the Repeats knob, and CC #21 controls the Filter knob⁵.

Power and connections

The Eternity runs on a 9V DC negative tip power supply, which is not included, with a current draw of 250mA¹. The 9V jack sits on the right side of the pedal alongside the audio connections².

For routing, the pedal supports mono in to mono out, mono in to stereo out, stereo in to stereo out, and stereo in summed to mono out, plus a Kill Dry mode. It uses stereo analog dry thru, so the dry signal stays analog rather than being converted¹.

MIDI and presets

The pedal holds six onboard presets and, with a MIDI controller connected, up to 127 presets plus remote manipulation of each control¹². From the factory it receives MIDI messages on channel 1, and the channel can be changed on startup⁵:

1. Apply power and hold down the Bypass switch while the pedal is in startup mode, as the Mix and Repeats knobs scroll through the color spectrum.
2. Release when the LEDs turn a solid color to enter Global settings.
3. Rotate the Cntrl1 knob to set the channel, from 1 to 16.
4. Hold the Bypass switch to exit and save the setting to permanent memory⁵.

What reviewers said

Premier Guitar's review found a lot to like, calling it "a powerful pedal with a ridiculous swath of features and full stereo capability," with delay algorithms that "sound brilliant and rich" and original double delay programs that are engaging and rewarding².

The reviewer found the dual algorithm the most fun of the two dual-style modes, producing zany ping-ponging rhythms and encouraging attention to timing and phrasing, and said the pedal "seems to possess a sparkle and three-dimensionality that turns a bedroom into a cathedral"².

The criticism was about ease of use: fitting all that functionality into a pedalboard-friendly package comes with hard-won compromises in operational ease, and memorizing numerous color codes and varying LED light patterns won't be easy for everyone. The reviewer suggested it is best to test before committing².

Guitar Pedal X included the Eternity in its roundup of the best new time-based effects pedals of 2023, describing it as a "smart compact 6 Mode Digital Delay"⁶.
